User Profile Synchronization Service Struck on "Starting" - Fixed


User profile Service Synchronization  service Struck on “starting” .

In SharePoint 2010 it is very common problem that whenever user profile synchronization is started. It gets struck on “starting”.
There were many cases where user profile synchronization struck on starting  from my experience I will list some cases.

First stop user profile synchronization service by using SharePoint Management Shell.

·         Get-SpServiceInstance
·         It will list all services currently running on SharePoint Farm.
         Description: C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\blog.JPG
·         Select Id of User profile service synchronization, you can select Id by Right click on command prompt now Mark ID of User profile service synchronization and Hit Enter ,Now Id will be automatically copied.
·         Now, stop user profile synchronization service .
·         Stop-SpServiceInstance –ID  <User profile synchronization service -ID >
·         You will be prompted with yes or no. Enter “Y” to confirm your connection.

Case 1: Access to Administrator
·         Now first check whether administrator is presents in local administrator and farm administrators groups in SharePoint Central Administration.
·         This permission can be verified in site permission of Central Administration.

Case 2: Make Administrator as member in FIMSyncBrowse, FIMSyncJoiners, FIMSyncOperators

·         Add administrator as member in following in Active Directory Groups of FIMSyncBrowse, FIMSyncJoiners, FIMSyncOperators

Note: If you don’t find these groups in active directory then Run Forefront identity Manger service that is available under services.msc (Type this Run command).

Case 3: SharePoint Web Services Root Application Pool is started.
·         Make sure that SharePoint Web Services Root Application Pool is started

Case 4: Add User Profile service to Default group
·         Make sure that user profile service is present default group of SharePoint Service Application group.

Now, Start User Profile Synchronization Service from Central Administration -> Application Management -> Service Application -> Manage services on Server -> User Profile synchronizing service -> Start.

Once User Profile Synchronization Service is started .Also verify that Forefront Identity Manager Service and Forefront Identity Manager  Synchronization Services is also started.

It worked for me.Cheers.....!
